Linda and I wanted to send out a special thanks to everyone who helped make the 2011 CMS Expo a big success. Joomla! was well-represented this year, with speakers and attendees coming from all around the world to share their insights and advice.

We're all very fortunate to have many incredible leaders in the Content Community, right here in Chicago! Many of those local-grown superstars were leading CMS Expo, including: Nick Martinelli, Justin Kerr, Kendall Cabe, Colleen Carroll, Jeff Eaton, Bob Baty-Barr, Don Gingold, Matthew Lechleider, Edward Knight, Avery Cohen, Robert Jacobi, Liz Strauss, Michael Uzquiano, and Chicago wanna-be Scott Liewehr.

We look forward to making next year's CMS Expo, and next year's Joomla track, even better. No doubt, Chicago will continue to lead the way.
